In South Australia we work under the Fences Act 1975. Version: 22.6.2023
Here is a link: https://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/__legislation/lz/c/a/fences%20act%201975/current/1975.44.auth.pdf
The Act provides all the information for the erection, replacement, repair and maintenance of fences.
Many areas have specific rules about fence height, materials, and even placement along property lines.
You’ll also want to know whether you and your neighbours share responsibility for the boundary fence
A shared fence benefits both of you, and many neighbours split the cost.
Once you both agree on the style and material be sure to get everything’s in writing – it protects both parties!
Get a few quotes from contractors to find the best price. The total cost will depend on materials, labour, and the length of the fence.
Once installed, a new fence not only adds privacy but also value to your home!
If you have questions about your property boundaries reach out to me anytime and if I don’t know the answer, I can call the right person to get the right information.
